Summer’s a great time to get outside, but ticks love the outdoors too. 🌳☀️

If you're walking through grassy or wooded areas, take a look at our guidance to help you stay safe and #BeTickAware. 👇

[UK Health Security Agency @UKHSA]

🚨 Measles can be a serious illness. More than 1 in 10 children haven't had the #MMR vaccine and they need 2 doses to get full protection.

Doses are usually given at 1 year old & 3 years 4 months old, but you can catch up missed doses later.

TB can be treated, but catching it early makes a big difference.
Don't brush it off as "just a cough." Speak to your GP practice for advice and support. 👩‍⚕️💬

Think the common cold spreads fast? Measles is nearly twice as contagious, and far more serious. ⚠
Unlike a common cold, simple hygiene measures aren’t enough to slow it’s spread. The MMR vaccine is your best protection. 🛡

Untreated they can lead to hospitalisation, #sepsis, and in the most serious cases death.
